What’s striking is that before Invictus could even make an official announcement on their website, Harry had already leaked the information to People. This suggests he wanted the public to know about it first, which is quite revealing. Price Harry Is Immensely Grateful to Friend Who Helped Build His Invictus Games Amid Stepdown.” The Duke of Sussex is bidding farewell to Dominic Reed, the long-time CEO of Invictus Games. This raises the question: why would such a successful venture be losing its CEO?

Before we delve deeper, we want to acknowledge that we believe Invictus was a fantastic initiative from the start. We were all for it and hope that it continues successfully, ideally with someone other than Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at the helm. A big thank you to King Charles and Prince William for founding it.

Prince Harry has praised Dominic Reed, who led the Invictus Games since its inception. Reed is stepping down to make way for new leadership as the organization enters its second decade. But let’s rewind to 2014 to understand how it all began.

In 2014, the Invictus Games were a groundbreaking event. Harry was inspired by the Warrior Games he saw in the U.S. and brought the concept to the UK. His idea was fully supported by the Royal Foundation and the Queen. This was a major event with high-level support and significant public enthusiasm.

At the time, Prince William and Kate were deeply involved, despite Kate’s severe morning sickness during her pregnancy. The Royal Foundation’s dedication was evident, and the games were a spectacular success.

Fast forward to recent years, and the Invictus Games seem to have shifted focus. We’ve noticed a decline in the event’s energy and authenticity, which seems to correlate with Meghan Markle’s increasing involvement. What was once a dynamic and heartfelt event now feels overshadowed by her presence, turning into what many are calling “The Meghan Markle Show.”

The spectacle of the early years, with dignitaries like Prince William, King Charles, and even King Frederick of Denmark, has been replaced by a less enthusiastic crowd. Some veterans have expressed concerns that the games have lost their meaning due to the focus on royal spectacle rather than the veterans themselves.

Recent reports suggest that around 2,000 ex-military participants have left the games, and some veterans have urged Harry to step down. Despite this, a PR expert believes he won’t give up the event easily.

Additionally, Meghan’s role has been controversial. Her involvement, including a high-profile but sometimes awkward public presence, has been criticized. The contrast between the early, heartfelt Invictus Games and the current state is stark.

We also covered the recent Invictus events in Germany, where the energy felt manipulated and artificial. The once-genuine spirit of the games seems to be fading, replaced by a more staged and less impactful presentation.

Lastly, we want to address the broader implications. Meghan Markle’s influence on Invictus has drawn criticism, and her behavior at the events has led to a sense of disillusionment among some supporters and veterans.

In closing, we hope the Invictus Games can return to their roots and focus on what truly matters—the veterans. It’s disappointing to see how things have changed, and we sincerely hope that Harry reconsiders his role for the future of the games.
